Problems solved by technology

Due to various restrictions on the types of games of chance that are allowed in certain locales, some games of chance may not be played in those areas.
One such restriction is the limitation by some governments on the practice of games of chance that utilize dice to determine the outcome of the game.
The difficulty in implementing any of the current systems and methods available is that they do not correctly simulate the odds available in the games they are attempting to simulate.
Furthermore, current systems and methods are too cumbersome and interfere with the natural flow of the game they are trying to simulate, or lack the player interaction and therefore the excitement or exhilaration of the game they are trying to simulate.
Because of these drawbacks, the current systems and methods lack the interest or drawing power of the games they are attempting to simulate.

Abstract

A method and system for simulating games of chance using cards are disclosed using a shuffler to shuffle a set of cards and dispensing one or more cards. Current regulations prohibit certain game operators from using certain games such as traditional craps and roulette. By simulating those games with cards, operators can still provide players with games they recognize and thereby develop excitement and new gaming alternatives for their players, as well as draw new players to such games through their familiarity with the indicia on the cards.
